Jia Xu had just finished his ancestor worship and received news from Liu Jing that there was an urgent military consultation. He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurried to the provincial governor's mansion.

Although Jia Xu could not guess what happened at the moment, he knew that the day was Liu Jing's busiest time, so he actually wanted to discuss military information, which only showed that the situation was very urgent. Jia Xu vaguely guessed that it might be related to Hanzhong or Bashu.

Jia Xu was taken to the outside study by his personal soldiers, and immediately a soldier reported: "Mr. Jia has arrived."

"Please come into the room" Liu Jing's voice came.

Jia Xu walked into the room, but saw that Sima Yi and Xu Shu had arrived. They were whispering something, "I'm late." Jia Xu quickly apologized and smiled.

"The military advisor is here just right, please sit down."

Jia Xu sat down, and then Liu Jing said to them: "Danri invited him to take the position because something happened in Hanzhong. I just got the news from Hanzhong, and Zhang Weili suggested that Zhang Lu take Shangyong."

This news made people look at each other, and Xu Shu was particularly nervous. Jingzhou had just begun to cultivate and rest. It was a good year, but if war was about to start again now, it would greatly affect Jingzhou's rest and rest.

He hesitated and said, "Although Zhang Wei is Zhang Lu's younger brother, he is rude and unwise. Perhaps he just saw the young soldiers in Shangyong, so he became interested, and Zhang Lu might not agree."

Jia Xu shook his head: "There is no wind and waves. No matter how stupid Zhang Wei is, he should know that Shangyong is the territory of Jingzhou. More importantly, Shangyong has never had anything to do with Hanzhong. If there is no special reason, he would not say such words."

At this time, Liu Jing looked at Sima Yi and saw that he was thinking, so he asked, "What do Sima Military Advisor have any thoughts?"

A tacit understanding has been reached within the Jingzhou high-level officials, and Sima Yi was given the lead in seizing Bashu. Hanzhong is a key link in Bashu. If there is any change in Hanzhong, it will affect Bashu's plan. Obviously, this news has had an impact on their plan, so Sima Yi's opinion is particularly important.

Sima Yi pondered for a long time and said, "I don't think this is surprising. Hanzhong's attempt to win Shangyong should be a normal reaction."

"Why" Liu Jing asked in confusion.

"I think it must be someone inside Bashu who leaked our plan to seize Hanzhong first and then go north to Guanzhong to Zhang Lu, causing panic within Hanzhong.

To seize the lead in the lead is of course a strategy, but as Xu Changshi said, this is just a strategy and Zhang Lu may not adopt it."

Liu Jing fell into deep thought. Sima Yi said it right. This should be a side effect after telling Bashu about the Northern Expedition Plan.

In fact, it was their purpose to instigate Hanzhong to seize Shangyong. Only when Hanzhong seized Shangyong could they let Liu Zhang send troops to Hanzhong and create conditions for them to seize Bashu and Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

But Liu Jing didn't expect Hanzhong to be so anxious. Soon there was a call for troops to send troops to Yong. Liu Jing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

This is actually an opportunity. If Hanzhong really decides to seize Shangyong, they will save them from finding ways to make Yang Song encourage Zhang Lu to seize Shangyong. However, Liu Jing is a little worried whether Jingzhou has the financial resources to support the army to fight another battle.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing looked at Xu Shu, and Xu Shu immediately reacted. He smiled bitterly and said, "If you want me to take out money and food, how should you compensate me?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I will give you all the treasurys in Yizhou and Hanzhong, how about it?"

Xu Shu couldn't help laughing and said to Jia Xu and Sima Yi: "Two military advisors testify for me. Today, the Muslim Liuzhou in Jingzhou promised to give me the treasury of Bashu and Hanzhong. If he cheats, you must uphold justice for me."

Jia Xu also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Changshi Xu, we will never let the Lord of Liuzhou be untrustworthy."

But Sima Yi had no time to joke. He was very nervous. He had already understood Liu Jing's intention, and might be preparing to follow the situation and annex Bashu war one year ahead of time.

But there are still many things that are not ready, how to fight this battle

Liu Jing glanced at him and said lightly: "Zhongda doesn't have to worry. Many things may not be followed by the line we planned, and there is no problem with temporary decisions. Besides, our original intention is to guide Hanzhong to attack Shangyong."

"Will Jianping County give it to Yizhou first, or wait until the Battle of Shangyong starts before giving it up?" Sima Yi asked again.

"I'll consider this again"

Liu Jing said, but looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu understood. Liu Jing wanted to ask for his own opinions, but now he couldn't say that it would make Sima Yi uncomfortable. Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

.........

Sima Yi and Xu Shu said goodbye one after another, and Jia Xu also left, but he walked around and returned to Liu Jing's study.

"My lord is looking for me," Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Liu Jing nodded, "Military advisor, please sit down."

Jia Xu sat down, and then Liu Jing asked Jia Xu: "What is the military advisor's idea of ​​moving troops in advance?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "The struggle between the two countries is about being prepared and knowing themselves and their enemies, but I think it is more important to lie in the fighter's opportunity."

"Does the military advisor mean that there are fighter jets now?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Sometimes unexpected things will be more convincing. The purpose of the lord is to make Liu Zhang believe in our Northern Expedition. Then the sudden attack on Shangyong in Hanzhong led to the situation out of control. At this time, Liu Zhang would never have thought that we were using this to plan for Bashu, and even the generals of Bashu's strategy were not expected, because they knew very well that it was they who leaked the secret that led Zhang Lu to attack Shangyong, which led us to respond hastily to the fight, and to be prepared to attack without preparation. This is what I am talking about."

Liu Jing sighed in his heart. In comparison, Jia Xu is still more experienced, while Sima Yi is still slightly lacking in experience.

"The military advisor is right. If so, I can ask Liu Zhang to send troops to him first and then things will be complete."

"No," Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "In fact, things are only 70% full, and it is not a perfect one."

Liu Jing was a little puzzled, "How do you say this from the military advisor?"

"It's very simple. Since the Hanzhong army has launched a large-scale attack on Shangyong, of course we have to send troops north. How can the lord explain to Liu Zhang why we stationed heavily in Nanjun?"

Liu Jing nodded. This was a big problem. To capture Bashu, he had to station heavy troops in Nanjun, but he could not explain this reason to Liu Zhang and Bashu.

Jia Xu stroked his beard cunningly and smiled: "You might as well use Liu Bei."

Liu Jing suddenly realized, yes, they could use the excuse of regaining Jingnan, garrisoning troops from Jiangling, preparing to attack Jingnan, and even crossing the river to attack Jingnan Liu Bei. Then at this time, when Zhang Lu and Hanzhong army used the Jingzhou army to attack Jingnan, they succeeded in the sudden attack, so everything would be natural. Jia Xu was really sophisticated.

"What's the reason to attack Liu Bei?" Liu Jing asked again.

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed into a slit, "For example, the news of Liu Qi's death suddenly came, how about it?"

Liu Jing nodded. He understood what Jia Xu meant. At this time, he finally made a decision, "Just prepare for Jiangling and prepare for a large-scale attack on Jingnan."

.........

The next day, an extremely shocking news came from Jiangling. The eldest son Liu Qi died suddenly in Jingnan, which may have been poisoned. The court and the country of Jingzhou were shocked. Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, was furious and sent Jiang Wan to Jingnan as an envoy to question the cause of Liu Qi's death. He mourned the whole city to mourn the eldest son Liu Qi.

At the same time, Liu Jing ordered the mobilization of 80,000 troops from Xiangyang and Jiangxia, as well as 100,000 stones of grain, countless military supplies, and two thousand warships gathered in Jiangling to prepare to attack Liu Bei in the south and seek justice for Duke Liu Qi.

The fifteenth year of Jian'an just started, and the war storms and storms of war have once again stirred up on the land of Jingzhou.

.........

In Gong'an County, a carriage drove towards Zhuge Mansion located in the south of the city. It was the fifth day of the first lunar month. The people of the Public Security Bureau were still immersed in the festive New Year. The streets were empty, there were few pedestrians, and most shops were closed. The New Year food prepared by every household was enough for them to eat until after the fifteenth.

Only groups of brightly-clothed children were running and playing in the melting snow, and bursts of innocent laughter came from afar.

Liu Bei was in a carriage, but he was worried. He had just received the news that Liu Jing had ordered an army of 80,000 and two thousand warships to gather in Jiangling to prepare for a large-scale attack on Jingnan. This news made Liu Bei panic. He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rushed to Zhuge Liang's mansion in his home clothes.

In addition to panic, Liu Bei was also angry. They reached an agreement a month ago to send Liu Qi. Liu Jing also agreed to give them half a year to prepare. In a blink of an eye, Liu Jing turned his back on his face and said that Liu Qi died in Jingnan and wanted to take revenge. It was shameless.

Of course, Liu Bei also knew that the so-called avenging Liu Qi was just an excuse. The key was that without Liu Qi as a hostage, they could attack Jingnan openly and put themselves to death. Thinking of Liu Jing's ruthless turn against each other, Liu Bei was desperate.

The carriage stopped in front of Zhuge Liang's mansion. Liu Bei got off the carriage and hurried towards the door of the mansion. The gatekeeper was so scared that he rushed into the mansion to report.

As soon as Liu Bei walked to the middle gate, he met Zhuge Liang and rushed out to greet him. Zhuge Liang wore a thick robe, a gourd hat, and a feather fan in his hand. When he saw Liu Bei's look panicked and wearing a home clothes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why is the lord so anxious?"

"Military advisor, something big happened"

Liu Bei's voice changed in an anxious voice, "I just got the news. Liu Jing used the excuse that Liu Qi died suddenly in Jingnan and wanted to avenge Liu Qi. He mobilized 80,000 troops to gather in Jiangling and prepared to attack Jingnan in a large-scale attack."

"There's something like this"

Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised, "Didn't he reach an agreement with us?"

"The problem is here. I don't know why Liu Jing turned against me. I'll discuss solutions with the military advisor."
